ELECTRIC LIGHT CARBONS. -*1·---* HOW THEY ARE MADE. One of the new industries that ha\e followed in the train of the electric light is that of carbon umak ing. T'ie first electric lamps used cailrtll pOillts sawed out of dense, almost letallic looking carbon depos it that slowly formed on the inside of the clay retorts used in making coal gas. This material was scarce and soon became expensive, and be ing both exceedingly hard and more brittle than glass, it was difficult to work. It was therefore found neces sary to manufacture the carbon points, and making . these has now become a considerable Illdllstry. They are made of a mixture of petroleum, coke and tar, which is - baked for a long time at a high. temlperature. The coke is ground as line as possible in specially designied the tar 'in mixing, machines. A"cake of the resulting carbon dough is placed in a strong steel cylinder, having a hole of the proper diameter at the bottom. A massive steel plunger, worked by hydrauitic powe...
